In the apple tree

Difficult to get out of bed this morning - our little jaunt at the beginning of the week whilst I was suffering from a bit of a cold seems to have caught up with me. A bitty, rather aimless sort of day fuelled by strong coffee.

Sunny by early afternoon, and very mild at 12deg, but not altogether pleasant walking on the path through the woods in the fierce wind - several trees creaking ominously!

This little chaffinch was sitting on the apple tree next door.
